mingled with sorrow—proclaim that the
purpose of our assembling has made a
deep Impression upon our hearts. We
need not repress the devotions by which
we are agitated. Whenever and wherever
these reunions occur we ar<V. standing
' amid the sepulchers of our <l-ad. Every
foot of our beloved southland is distin
l gulshed by their courage, their sublime
, fortitude, their self-denial, their un
wavering devotion and patriotism, and
sanctified by the shedding of their blood.
‘Time and nature have had their course'
In diminishing tho numbers of those who
surrendered at the close of the great
civil war. but neither time nor nature
can relieve those who survive of the du
ties they owe to the memory of our un
recorded dead, to our posterity, to our
beloved southland and to ourselves. We
are here today to discharge as we may
those duties and to renew old friendships
forged in the white heat of common suf
ferings and hallowed and sanctified by
the conscious conviction that in the hour
of trial and peril we were true to the
constitution as it was framed and band
ed down to us by Washington and h>s
compatriots. We are here also to pay
tribute to the noble band of southern
women, the mothers and daughters of the
confederacy.
“If we would not have our very clill
dren in the near future, if not ashamed
and apologizing for us, then unable to de
fend us, we must not be idle in preserv
ing. recording and teaching the real tacts
upon which tho righteousness of our ac
tions must depend.
Misfortune to South.
“It is a misfortune to the south that
her sons, if not indifferent, then care
lessly neglected to preserve for the his
torian like records. The true record of
the south, if it can be related with his
toric accuracy, is rich In patriotism, in
intellectual force, in civic and military
achievements, in heroism, in honorable
and sagacious statesma -’.-hip, of a proper
share In which no American can afford
to deprive himself. S>> much genius In

The south is reproached for disunion
pccess!m. it is th" basis for the charge
ot treason, of disrupting the union, ot
violating the constitution, ot rebellion, ot
making wir on th< United States. It
must not be forgotten that there is a
wide difference between secession ami re
bellion. The south made no war on the
states remaining in the union. S< ■cssinn
meant disunion so far as the seceding
states were concern'd, but it neitner
meant war nor rebel’ion. It meant a
union intact so far as all the states were
concerned which did not secede, and a
union, too, under the eonstitui ion. As
the states entered the union, each und< r
acts cf ratification of its own, so seces
sion meant the resumption by each state
of Its <i-4egated powers, by repealing the
acts under which ' ach seceding state
entered the compact; but the repeal of
euch acts did not and could not alft 't
the acts by which the remaining stat, s
entered into the confederacy.

“Our chil Iren should know that tan
confederate states, by the act of seces
eion. made no war on the I'c.ted States;
that the war between the states was not
rebellion. It was the result of n,n effort
by the United States to coerce states
against their will to remain in the union,
a. pow.-r not to be found in the constitu

Dr. Miles’Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
There is nothing more necessary to health
than sleep and rest. If these are denied you,
if you rise in the morning more tired than
when you went to bed, there is an affection of
the nerves piainlv present. If your heart is
weak, or there is an inherited tendency in
that direction, your weakened nerves will
soon so attest vour heart's action as to bring
on serious, chronic trouble. Dr. Miles Ner
vine is a nerve tonic, whi h quiets the nerves,
so that sleep may come, and it quickly re
stores the wakened nerves to health and
strength. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is a great
blood and heart tonic which regulates the ac
tion of the heart, enriches the blood and im
proves the circulation.
“Some time ago I was suffering severely
with heart trouble. At times my heart would
seemingly stop beating and at others it would
beat loudly and very- fast. Three to four
hours sleep each night in ten months was all
I could get. Onew- ek in last September I
never closed my eves. I got I >r. Miles’Nervine
and Heart Cuie at a drugstore in Lawrence
burg. after spending $300.00 in medi
cines’and doctors m Louisville, Shelbyville,
Frankfort, Cincinnati and Lawrenceburg,
and in three days have derived more benefit
from the use of your remedies than I got
from ail the doctors and their medicines. I
think everybody ought to know of the mar
velous power contained in your remedies.”—

one of the incidents and results of the
war. Thank God it i 3 gone forever, and
that we have a reunited country under
one llag, the emblem of a free people
in an inseparable union of co-equal
slates, and never destined, we pray God,
to become the emblem of imperial power
at home or abroad, or to float over
vassal states and subject peoples any
where against their will.
“We are here that mankind may not
forget, nor falsehood nor calumny' cloud
or tarnish the calm judgment of pos
terity as to the sincerity of the motives
and the honorable conduct of the con
federate soldiers. We affirm our desire
that our children may understand these
things, that they may’ the more reverence
their ancestry, that they may know of
their suffering and sacrifices, and be able
to defend their good names and proud
of their achievements, emulate, In the
great struggles of the future, If such
await our country, the fidelity, patriotism,
love of home and country attested by'
the veterans of IS6I on an hundred bloody
battle fields.

The South find Adversity.
“Bid any' other people ever face and
overcome adversity as did the southern
people? The same spirit which gave her
armies unity, power and endurance fol
lowed the survivors back Into civil life
to point the way’ of a new birth such
as no other country' has ever experi
enced. But as the south had fought for
the principal of local self-government
and lost, so hi the disjointed logic of
the time she was to be denied Its appli
cation in the reestablishment of her state
government. The great north sent the
carpetbagger, who, aided by those who
had never exercised the simplest rights
of citizenship, were < xpecti d to set up
and administer sucn governments as were
fit lor a people who, for nearly' three
quarters ot a. century had, in the mam,
guided and directed the splendid prog
ress and development of the great repub
lic. The riotous and debauched condi
tion into which a helpless and defense
less people were plunged by tills char
acteriess horde of insatiable cormorants
who assembled at our state capitals to
blaspheme the very name of civil gov
ernment and plot schemes to opi>res.s a
fallen foe that they might prolong their
opportunities for peculation, must be left
to the future historian, in the interest
of truth and as a lesson to posterity, and
as a warning to us all that there is no
freedom where one man is permitted to
govern others against their wills, to drag
away the sheet '.hat covers the rotten
corpse of reconstruction. It fell, as in
the nature of things it could not en
dure.
With the south's overw’helming prob
lem still unsolved, she has, nevertheless,
tinier the auspices of her own people,
fallen and safe and peaceful, if not happy
and prosperous rimes. Her sons and
daughters have resumed their rightful
station, and whatever the future has in
Store of good tor her. must rest upon
the trains and characteristics of her peo
ple. She will be patient; she will be pru
dent. To all the knightly and queenly
virtues she will hold fast, trusting in God
and the future for the noble and the
good. The south will not. despair.”
First Confederate Flag.
Editor <'onstitution: Apropos of tho
confederate reunion now on in New' Or
leans, ft might be of interest to the vet
erans and their friends who atten 1
union to know that this little city of
Fail urn. through which they will pass
going and coming via. the Vt •st Point
Route, claims the honor and d -tinctlon
of being the place where tie. lit -t con
fed'rate flag was unfurl- d.
It happened this way: On the day the
design ot the flag was adopted ity. tin:
conleilerate congress, then sitting at
. tile first
it..l. Engineer Jeff Robinson, then as now
one of the most competent and trusted
engineers in the service of this railroad,
pulled a passenger train out from Mont
gomery* on his regular run. Aboaid the
train were Alec Stephens. Toombs, Cobb
and ot;.' r notables of those stormy times.
There were also many ladies aboard
whose pauiotic impuls'-s were aroused by
the “war talk among the passengers.
By the time the train had reached La-
Grange the ladies asked that the train
be ii' l i long enough to send up town and
eriul to make a flag 11 wa■ ex
plaimd to them, however, that th'- stores
at Giantviile were much in-arei the de
pot, so arriving at the latter place En
gineer Robinson himself ran to a nearby
-tore and procured the necessary goods,
thread;--, needles, etc., and soon the fair
■* anils of the.-.- patriotic women were
iiii'tlv converting the material into the
tiist emljlem of stat.-s rights that ever
hurled delianee at a foe.
By tho time the train reached Fair
burn the llag was finished and willing
hands proeiii'd a temp-nary flag pole,
wi.ich was placed on the rear end of the
train, and the immortal symbol of free
dom was unfurled to the soft, southern
breeze, and the train resumed its run to
Atlanta, whore the flag at once become
the center of attraction and patriotic ad
miration. Today Engim-er Robinson, still
in the prime of splendid manhood, ha»

■NS CELEBRATED
INDEPENDENCE.
Cannon Boom, Rockets Go Skyward
and Steam Whistles Screech.
Cablegrams Are Exchanged
Betw'een President Palma
and Secretary Root.
Havana, May 20.-The celebration of
Cuba’s independence, the first anniversary
of the establishment of the Cuban repub
lie, begun at midnight with the illumina
tion of the fronts of the principal clubs,
the sending up of rockets and tiie screech
ing of steam whistles. The weather today
was Ideally clear even for Cuba.
Business was completely suspended and
the streets were thronged with people.
-President Palma, accompanied by the
cabinet officers and city and provincial of
ficials, drove to the punta, where he re
viewed the members of the police and fire
departments, and then accompanied by,
Secretary of State Zaldo he was driven up
the Prado to the palace, continually ac
knowledging the salutations of the crowds
which lined that thoroughfare.
At noon the guns of Cab’anas fortress
announced that exactly a year had elaps
ed since the birth of the Cuban republic
and immediately thereafter the rural
guards and artillery paraded on the plaza
In front of the palace and were revh w'-'d
by the president.
Root Cables to Palma.
Washington, May 20.—Secretary Root
today sent President Palma, of t üba, the
following telegram of congratulation.
"Accept hearty congratulations upon the
first anniversary of the establishment ot
the independent government of Cuoa. am
upon the strength and wisdom with whi' ii
you have conducted your great office. i !le
year of successful administration and i'-
spect for law has confounded the ene
mies of Cuba and strengthened tin coin
age and hope of her friends. ’> ou li tv ‘ my
sincere and earnest wishes for continued
prosperity.”
Secretary Root received the foliotvlng
reply from President Palma:
“The government and people of tiie
United States are entitled to the ever
lasting gratitude of the people- of Cuba
who midst the happiness they enjoy today
do not forget how much they are obliged
to the Aemrlcan people for the share they
look in helping to gain independence and
freedom, and send to them, through me,
their sincerest wishes for the uninter
rupted prosperity of the gre.-i.t republic
and the personal welfare of president
Roosevelt and tiie members of his cabinet.
At the same time. I send you and family
the warmest testimony of my sincere
friendship.”
TREATY SIGNED BY CUBANS.
Permanent Convention Has Been Ac
cepted at Last.
Havana. May 22.- The permanent treaty
between the United States and Cuba,
In which are all the provisions of tho
Platt amendment, was signed this after
noon.
The act of signing the treaty occurred
at half-past 4 this afternoon In the office
of the secretary "f state. ’!'>■■ signers
were Secretary of State Zaldo and Itnitcd
States Minister Squiers, who were consti
tuted special plenipotentiaries for that
purpose.
The permanent treaty contains no pro
vision for its abrogation and no extran
eous conditions of any kind. It seemly in
corporated tho entire Plait, amendment
into the form of a treaty. The length ot
time consumed by the negotiations was
principally due to tiie fact that the Cuban
government desire,l to include in the
treaty various extraneous conditions, es
pecially one to the effect that there, should
be no intervention in Cuban affairs by the
United States except through the initia
tive of the president of Cuba. AH these
conditions were rejected.
The Associated Press correspondent
saw a number of senat'pft with refer
ence to the prospects of the ratification
of both the permanent and naval sta
tions treaties during tins sission of con
gress, but they were not inclined to be
communicative. Il remains evident th.it
there is an inclination to allow the
treaties to go over this se- >u. It is
lleved that an urgent m> ssage from
President Palma which will accompany
the sending of today's tr sty to the sen
ate will -have a strong Influence in the
direction of ratification.
